Captain Craig and Gavin did an outstanding job on our trip. We had 2 families of fathers and sons ( 7, 6, and 14yrs old ) and were even able to accommodate and manage around our 14 yr old having just had knee surgery only a few weeks ago. We were on fish early and often, even with moving to a few different spots to change up target species. Would highly recommend Emerald C Charters to anyone.  In fact we booked a second trip for tomorrow already!

This was our first saltwater charter. Originally booked for the afternoon the captain called me the night before and recommended, if we could, come early in the morning because that’s when the fish were biting. We agreed, arrived at zero dark 30 and he was ready to go. Captain is personable, instructive. Knows his business. We began catching bait fish and went after some Spanish mackerel, which were excellent eating by the way. Then went out into deeper water and caught a couple of bull drum. Great experience. Originally booked for four hours, we went out about 5 1/2! I’m looking forward to my next charter with him.

August 4, 2024- We had the time of our lives with Gavin and Brayden! 4 out of 6 of us had never even caught a fish and 3 of the 4 of us newbies got one today! My brother in law wrangled in a black fin shark, I lost one due to a last minute tail whip that cut the line, and my husband caught a beautiful red snapper a few days too late….the snapper had to go back but what a treat to see one! I highly recommend Emerald C! Gavin is so knowledgeable, both guys had great personalities, and were just a joy to be around! Thank you for an unforgettable time Emerald C!

P.S. The black fin was delicious! Thanks for the cooking tips as well!

I wanted my husband to have an experience on vacation too…I chose Emerald C fishing trip. Our captain was very nice and informative…after we came to the area to fish, I became very sea sick! The captain offered me water and to let him know if we need to go somewhere else. I tried to hang in there…my husband was enjoying his trip and catching several fish, even a mahi mahi..mahi. The captain was always encoraging him and helped him every step of the way. I finally had to call the trio because I was getting very sick. The captain was very accommodating and we left within a few minutes. I could never say enough about the accommodating efforts from the captain and I was so disappointed in having to come in early. My husband would definitely do it again with Emerald C

Got the 4 hour morning charter for myself, and my 9 yo son. The captain read my notes id added when purchasing the trip, and knew we wanted to catch a shark :-) Communication was great leading up to the trip. We left promptly on time and we’re catching fish within 30-45 min from leaving the dock. After awhile, and a few different spots, we went out to catch a shark, and my son ended up catching a 4’ black tip! We also caught a smaller sharp nose shark, a couple of red snapper, and a couple of various bait fish. All in all: book yourself a charter with these guys. Watching Captain Craig interacting with my son while he had a big shark on the line was awesome. He was patient and knowledgeable. And he also cleaned our sharks n bagged up the steaks for us :-) 10 out of 10. We will be back again!
